AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The system offers enhanced weather protection, reduced maintenance needs, and improved integration with the marine craft's design, providing the functionality of an open pilot house while maintaining the practicality of a closed yacht, with a seamless visual and operational experience.

Problems solved by technology

On small crafts, the pilot house is usually limited in size and has few amenities.
However, these non-permanent covers are vulnerable during inclement weather and maintenance intensive.
In addition, most aft cockpit canvas covers are inefficient and not well integrated.

Embodiment Construction

[0024]The subject innovation is now described with reference to the drawings, wherein like reference numerals are used to refer to like elements throughout. In the following description, for purposes of explanation, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present invention. It may be evident, however, that the present invention may be practiced without these specific details. In other instances, well-known structures and devices are shown in block diagram form in order to facilitate describing the present invention.

[0025]The term “or” is intended to mean an inclusive “or” rather than an exclusive “or.” That is, unless specified otherwise, or clear from context, “X employs A or B” is intended to mean any of the natural inclusive permutations. That is, if X employs A, X employs B, or X employs both A and B, then “X employs A or B” is satisfied under any of the foregoing instances. Moreover, articles “a” and “an” as used in the subjec...

Abstract

A marine aft bulkhead and window system in a fully framed assembly includes a port side glass assembly that is fully retractable below a lowest edge of a window opening, a starboard side glass assembly that is fully retractable below the lowest edge of the window opening, a door glass assembly that is fully retractable below the lowest edge of a door opening, and a door assembly that is fully retractable to port or starboard horizontally.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 61 / 820,206, filed May 7, 2013. The disclosure of the prior application is considered part of and is incorporated by reference in the disclosure of this application.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention relates to marine craft, and more particularly to a marine aft bulkhead and window system.[0003]In general, a pilot house is an area on a ship housing the steering controls, with shelter and room for at least one member of the crew who can control the ship while it is in motion. On small crafts, the pilot house is usually limited in size and has few amenities. On larger boats, it is typically part of a larger bridge, housing multiple personnel and equipment like radar, radio, storage cabinets for charts, and so forth.[0004]In addition to the wheel or other steering mechanism, the structure may have other tools for navigation, including electronic charts...
